My grandDame for many years had us kids bath in it, especially after a rough day of playing, riding horses, herding cattle, and the like. The years go by and I forget all about it. About eight years ago I begin to study Thai Yoga Body Therapy. After the first day - of being poked, pulled, and prodded by 11 other students - my instructor advised that we 'go home and take an epsom salt bath'. I think to myself: " Not necessary. I do Hatha Yoga everyday. Ill be fine! " I go home, eat a healthy dinner, take a shower and go to bed. The next morning, I can barely crawl outta that bed! Day two in class, I am sore from head to toe! My energy is sluggish and I find it difficult to concentrate. At the end of day two, my instructor gives the same advice. I stop at the grocery store and buy two boxes of epsom salt! I dont even bother eating dinner, I go straight to the tub. Upon waking-up the next morning, I slowly stretched .. checking for any soreness. None. Thanks Grandma! Thanks Patricia! Ah .. ya gotta love the Old Fashioned Remedies! Be Whole!

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Dear Valarie, I loved your anecdote about the yoga instructor and the advice of Grandma and Grandpa. They knew what worked. The old fashioned (free) remedies were "appropriated" by the drug companies and are sold back to us as high priced medicines. My Grandpa (and Dad) were deep sea fishing party boat captains in Destin, Florida. Many times, they (or their customers) would have their hands or fingers impaled by "Jap" hooks, which are very hard to remove because of a large barb. They have to be pushed deeper into the hand, cut, and pulled out. Some people fainted. The holes would quickly become sore and infected because of fish slime before they could get ashore. I have watched my Dad soak his whole hand in a deep bowl of hot water and epsom salts. We could see the infection, like a worm, flow slowly out of the wound. It looked clear, like plasma or pus. The epsom salt had drawn out the poison. My Dad would keep his hand submerged until the water grew lukewarm and then dry it off. It was amazing how the epsom salts healed his hand so quickly, and there was never a need to go to the doctor for a shot or for antibiotics. in his Love Athena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 ---i think it was me and this info i found asan edgar cayce remedy in dealing with cleansing toxins . often used with arthritis sufferers as like Helpful arthritis and joint care information on prevention and alleviation , This information is derived from the Edgar cayce research readings and from using it at the Edgar cayce clinics, from numerous reports from thousands of people who have tried this and from numerous Drs,chiropractors, osteopaths, who has been using this kind of information with considerable success treating thousands of people for over 50 yrs.IN fact a lot of this information was used even ancient Egypt The Orion project is an information sharing resource funded privately, sells nothing and is there for the sharing of information which is of huge value. This is totally different from being prescribed just drugs where there are huge profits to be made often at the expense of the patients well being. As you can imagine a good diet is essential in maintaining good health, emphasis was on fresh vegetables often eaten raw or grated daily to gain the maximum amount of goodness into you and fruits whole grains and light proteins. Needless to say ,regular exercise, massage preferably daily, water intake 2 litres/day and a twice a year detox should already be a part of your health protection. Before trying this CHECK YOU DO NOT HAVE ALLERGYS TO NUTS Peanut oil was highly recommended and many were told to almost bathe in it, to be given externally, work into all the joints, the neck, across the clavicle, the spine, over the stomach, in fact just about every where. This is to be done once a week or more. Numerous reports also followed over its use. One chap says that he has found it not only lubricates but also heals and had he had this information he would have spared much misery. Another lady says that with constant use of the oil she can keep her wedding ring other wise her finger enlarges. Another report from a doctor says that with his arthritic patient, first results were an increase in vitality and elimination. Castor oil is also used on any arthritic, rheumatic, or muscular and joint pain as unction. Basically an infra red lamp is placed 12-18 inches from the part to be massaged. Apply the castor oil on the painful area and let the lamp warm it and this will help the oil to penetrate the skin, this done for about 5-10 mins. Then keep rubbing with the fingers and hand until the oil is worked in. Keep putting more oil on and massaging continued for 10-60 mins. Massage was also very helpful, to be given usually after another treatment such as an Epsom salt bath prepared by dissolving at least 5lbs in a typical bath and immersing for a period of time. Oils used for the massage were equal parts of olive oil and peanut oil use the oils freely and as much as the body could absorb. Also done was Improvements to the elimination process within the body, the most frequent methods were castor oil packs, enemas, colonics, and eno salts. Elimination is the ability of the body to get rid of toxins. A very important and Essential ability in helping just about all conditions. The research said those people, which undertook a peanut oil massage/rub each week need never fear arthritis. Apparently cold pressed oils are best not chemically extracted. Where there is crippling of the joints of the hands, pain of arthritis or inflammation of the tendons considerable relief can be found by using an Epsom salt bath and massage. Use a large quantity of the salts about 1 pound in the water though, not just a spoon full. Soak the affected area for about 5 mins and then massage the affected area under water, rotate the joints and soak again for another 5-10 mins. A lady who could not even close her hand, reported after two weeks of the salts and massage she could then close them-amazing. Another lady reports that soaking in Epsom salts then applying the oil gave her the best results. Pain seems to ease immediately and use of the effected parts returns far more rapidly than ever before. The oil had also relieved paralysis, which some poor man had on his left side. Another lady in her 80s reports says the oil is the only thing, which keeps her arthritic knees. One report which could be worth trying I noticed someone complained of fluid around the knee. The greatest thing for that is Rawleigh Camphor Balm.It is the neatest thing.........what you do is pour out just a little bit of Rawleigh Camphor Balm white liquid in your hand. Then you rub it all around your knee and keep rubbing and rubbing untill it gets slick..........when it gets slick and very very moist.......its pulling the water out of of your knee. It does not hurt........its just wonderful stuff. If you rub it on arthritic pain..... it takes the pain away! I have arthritis. I keep my arthritis under control with supplements but when I have pain or water retention I use the Rawleigh Camphor Balm.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 It must be Epsom Salt day. Had a garden chat in the lineup to the till at the store today. My friend used Epsom salts to increase bllom on her roses, I had done the same to irises. First time they finally bloomed! Indeed, old-fashioned rememdies are great. Well, some of them. Smearing toxic mercury like a salve all over the body to cure syphilis was also an old fashioned remedy. Not so good. Some things are progress!

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Dear Phil, thank you for your suggestion re: using epsom salts for arthritis! I definitely will pass this along. Sometimes my fingers hurt and this may help. Sometimes in cooking, I will just use a little peanut butter plus regular oil to grease the wok. I wonder if a little peanut butter in baby or mineral oil would work for massage. Just a thought. I will try it with the real peanut oil, and thanks!
